2018 marked the first yearin over three decades that Minnesota honored every hero laid to rest at Fort Snelling National Cemetery with an American Flag on Memorial Day: A staggering quantity of nearly 200,000 flags and counting.

Join the thousands of Minnesotans in restoring this annual tradition of remembrance in honor of our fallen for Memorial Day 2019. Every donation, every volunteer, every share makes a difference to our mission.

2020 FLAG FUNDRAISER

$34,288 of $800,000 raised

Fundraising for the Legacy Flag-

A permanent collection for Fort Snelling National Cemetery to last for generations.

The new flags will be an incredible savings for the environment and our bottom dollar. While the Minnesota Remembers event was effectively canceled for 2020, it doesn’t mean our patriotism has!

Let’s use this season to remind our online friends, family, schools, companies, organizations, VFWs and Legions of the FFFS Mission. Minnesotan’s are rebuilding this tradition together, and we need your help getting the permanent flags we need to sustain it. Ideally, we’ll come back on Memorial Day 2021 armed with these new, beautiful, retractable staffs that will protect each of the 250,000 American flags the way they deserve!
